Livia Lumiere Carlos softly whispered to herself, “Happy Wedding Anniversary to me,” as she gently extinguished the candle atop the cake she had acquired just moments before.
The clock struck ten in the evening, and still her husband had not arrived. Despite making multiple attempts to reach out, she found herself met with silence as George remained unresponsive. She is filled with worry; a sense of unease is creeping in, as if something ominous is unfolding.
Livia has been aware for quite some time that her marriage is deteriorating. She was aware that she had poured her heart and soul into salvaging their marriage, driven by her deep affection for George. She had bestowed upon him all that he desired, leaving herself with nothing to spare. Livia couldn’t help but notice the contradicting nature of the wine—sweet yet bitter.
She couldn’t help but feel a tinge of bitterness herself as she pondered this observation. With no one by her side except for George, she couldn’t help but notice the chilliness in his demeanor towards her over the past few months. Nonetheless, she had never given up on him. Not only pleasing him, but also his entire family.
Livia’s gaze fell upon the table. The food appeared delicious, yet she lacked the desire to partake in a meal.
She left ahead of schedule in order to make the necessary preparations, only to find that her efforts were in vain. Just as the woman was preparing to rise from her seat, her phone suddenly began to ring. A notification appears in her inbox.
The number that appeared on the screen was unfamiliar. Livia’s nerves kicked in as she opened the message.
From: Unknown Number
Go to your apartment building’s room 465. You’ll find your spouse and his mistress there.
Upon perusing the text, Livia’s complexion turned pallid, as if drained of all color. She is aware that this accusation is not without foundation, as the message aimed to ensure she had firsthand knowledge of the truth.
The woman’s body trembles with anticipation, desperately hoping that the message she received is not true. Livia mustered the courage to rise from her chair despite feeling weak. Nonetheless, she managed to stand.
As she headed outside, her heart rate instantly doubled. The room was located on a separate floor, just one level above their apartment. Without jumping to conclusions, she refrained from making any immediate assumptions.
The reason behind her cautious approach was the possibility of it being yet another prank text, a recurring occurrence in her life. As she ascended in the lift, a chill crept through her body, a telltale sign of her mounting nervousness.
Livia found herself tormented by the journey to the floor, where the room awaited her. As she entered the floor, her eyes widened, and a gasp escaped her lips upon hearing the unmistakable sounds of moaning and gasping emanating from the floor ahead.
Livia’s knees grew weak as she recognized the sound of her husband's voice. The door was not closed and locked properly. “Oh, goodness gracious! Letty, you truly are the best! You surpasses Livia in every way imaginable!” Livia listened attentively, her keen ears picking up the sound clearly.
In an instant, she recognized the unmistakable owner of this apartment. Her eyes welled up with tears, which soon cascaded down her cheeks. In a fit of anger, she directed her frustration towards the door, delivering a swift kick.
“How could you do this to me?” Livia let out a piercing scream. In the living room, Livia found herself in the presence of two individuals whom she held great trust in. They were both unclothed, intimately intertwined, and engaged in a passionate act of love.
Livia’s sudden appearance startled them, causing them to stand up. Livia’s vision became blurred with tears, yet the individuals standing before her displayed no trace of guilt or remorse.
“George, how can I explain it? How could you have done this to me? I did everything for you, even if it meant sacrificing my pride. I believed that we had a strong bond of friendship, Letty.” With a forceful burst of sound, she let out a piercing scream that resonated through the room, nearly overwhelming her own ears.
As Livia cast her gaze upon them, she couldn't help but notice the smug expressions adorning their faces. “I am pleased that you have already discovered this. I am filing for annulment. I just married you so I can have a high position in the company,” George told her, as if she didn’t exist in his eyes.
“I’ve been in love with Letty since then. Now that she’s wealthy, we could be together,” the cheater murmured as he kissed his mistress.
Upon hearing those words from her beloved husband, Livia felt her heart constrict with an indescribable sensation. In an instant, her heart begins to race uncontrollably, overwhelmed by the intensity of what she has just witnessed.
“Livia, we are not friends. We are merely utilizing you,” Letty stated, her grin widening.
Livia was taken aback, and then she found herself utterly speechless. The spinning of her world came to a halt. She was struck by a sudden realization as memories flooded her thoughts.
“I did not have feelings of love towards you.” She heard George speak.
Now, everything is clear. Her knees trembled and she felt as if she were about to pass out. She served as nothing more than a tool for their convenience.
A bitter laugh escaped her lips. ‘Indeed, I am such an idiot. I became their obedient slave! You are such an idiot, Livia!’
The agonizing pain in Livia’s heart caused her body to tremble, and she took a step back. Leaving those cheaters! She refrained from giving anything to them.
She lacked any reason to do so. Clutching her chest, she made an attempt to retreat towards the elevator.
She had no desire to remain in the same building as those two individuals. Livia hesitated as she reached out to press the elevator button, a sudden sensation of unease gripping her heart. She descended to the ground, her body succumbing to the agony, and emitted a vocal expression of distress.
“Help!” Despite her efforts to call for help, no one came to her aid. No one arrived, not even those deceitful individuals, to offer assistance to her. Due to the severity of the pain, Livia found herself writhing on the ground.
Livia found herself in a situation where her cries went unheard, leaving her without any assistance. It was at that moment that she came to the realization that her time had come.
As her body began to weaken, she mustered the strength to express a wish, hoping that it would somehow come true.
“If fate gives me a chance, I promise you two that you will suffer. You will all kneel in front of me, and I will laugh at all of you. Because whoever stands in my way, I will mercilessly trample them,” she promised. “Livia, the foolish, the slave, and the errant girl, is no more.”
Livia’s eyes suddenly opened wide. In an instant, her hand instinctively reached for her chest as the memory of what had transpired flooded her mind. The woman’s breath came in heavy gasps, as though she had been running.As she glanced around, her eyes fell upon the sight of her own form, peacefully resting upon the bed. Relief washed over Livia.She murmured, “It was merely a nightmare,” before rising to her feet. “George?” she called out, her voice filled with anticipation and a hint of uncertainty.She uttered her husband's name, but there was no response, causing her brows to furrow in concern. She softly murmured to herself, noticing the tranquil atmosphere that enveloped her house as she embarked on a quest to locate her beloved husband.The house is empty, save for her presence. Instead of burdening her mind with perplexing thoughts, she readied herself in the bathroom.Just as she was preparing to brush her teeth, a sudden gasp escaped from her lips. As she gazed upon her ref
Livia chose not to look at or respond to George’s text or call. What might be the reason for her actions?She simply had no desire to engage in conversation with a man like George, who was both a cheater and a traitor, not to mention his arrogance.She had already made a personal commitment to never invest any emotions in George. The man forced her to do this.This particular day holds significance for her, as it marks a moment of retribution. She possesses knowledge of the events that will unfold today, and she harbors no reservations about confronting anyone who dares to provoke her.Livia Lumiere will not be seen as timid or easily pushed around. They will observe a different path in their surroundings. With unwavering confidence, she finds herself certain of it, for she took the time to prepare herself.Lost in contemplation, she proceeded to their office without delay, her mind still lingering on the thoughts that had occupied her during breakfast.As she made her entrance, the g
“Did I hear everyone correctly say that you’re acting like a tiger today?” Letty, her supposed friend, asked of her. During the lunch hour, Livia found herself quietly enjoying her meal within the confines of her office. However, the unexpected appearance of a witch abruptly interrupted her peaceful moment.She paid no mind to that person and had no interest in whatever Letty might be gossiping about with their co-worker. Livia had grown accustomed to Letty’s gossip, and she was well aware that this woman was spreading false rumors about her in their workplace. However, Livia remained unfazed by it all.“I am speaking, Liv. Will you not simply disregard me?” Letty asked, her lips forming a pout.Livia shuddered as a repulsive sensation coursed through her spine. She is astonished by the fact that this woman had the audacity to pout right in front of her, as if Letty were completely unaware of the deceitful actions she was engaging in when Livia’s back was turned. “If you’re just here
Livia had finally reached the third day of her return to the timeline of her life. The traitor remains unseen by her, and time eludes her to meet him as well. The woman is aware that George requires her, rather than the other way around. She stated that her boyfriend has yet to try the new Livia. The day’s work has come to an end, and she finds herself seated on the toilet in the company’s restroom, attending to her personal needs.Before, she was tired. However, now it appears that her job is as effortless as can be. Livia had just completed her task and was preparing to cleanse her hands when the sound of voices reached her ears, indicating the arrival of others.“F*ck! How am I supposed to do that report? I am unsure of my abilities to do so!” A smirk graced Livia’s face upon hearing their voices. Even in the privacy of the comfort room, she remains the subject of shameless individuals. Instead of yelling at them, she chose to listen to their conversation first.“Because I couldn’t
“What the hell?” Livia expressed her frustration. For the past two weeks, she has been actively avoiding George, yet that persistent individual continues to bother her both at home and in the workplace.At this very moment, George is incessantly bothering her door, despite the late hour of ten in the evening. Fatigue has already settled into her ears from the incessant knocking. Despite this weariness, she chooses not to grant herself respite by opening the door, allowing the man to proceed with his desires.With a swift motion, she grasped the phone and promptly dialed the number of the security guard stationed on the ground floor. “Sir, could you please get this man out of the building? It’s now ten o’clock, and he’s still disturbing my sleep! Take note that he should not be allowed to enter this building.” In a fit of anger, she directed her words towards the security guard.“All right, ma’am. Don’t worry, we’ll take care of it right away,” the security guard replied.She went near
Livia, exhausted from a day of hard work, finally returned home and began tidying up her belongings. She is decluttering, but not with her own belongings, but with those she brought for George because he did not want to bring them into his home.Livia was aware of the reason behind it: her style was outdated and couldn’t keep up with the current trends. Her parents, the ones who had raised her, were no longer present. Living alone makes her susceptible to being easily fooled by others.A chuckle escaped her lips as she caught sight of two boxes containing George’s belongings neatly tucked away inside a larger box. Trembling, she casts a glance at herself before swiftly discarding the boxes outside her apartment. The trash will be collected by a garbage collector.“I am old-fashioned, huh?” She couldn’t help but sarcastically remark to herself about what George had told her.“Just wait until Monday when you lay eyes on me. I will laugh in your face,” she says, despite the fact that the
Livia sat in front of the television, engrossed in her favorite show. Suddenly, a news report captured her attention. Anger and disgust tightened her jaw.“Good day, Mr. Welthe! Could it be true? Has the heiress of the Welthe Empire finally been found?” As Richard Welthe gracefully stepped into his luxurious limousine, accompanied by his loyal bodyguards, a curious reporter couldn’t help but ask about the distinguished old man’s presence.Despite the bodyguards’ efforts to ward off the barrage of unexpected questions from the reporters, they find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer number of journalists present.Richard Welthe is a name that is hard to miss, especially when he is on a desperate search to find his beloved child. The reward he offers for any information is nothing short of substantial.Richard Welthe, with a cold expression adorning his face, remained silent, refusing to entertain any inquiries from the persistent reporters. The man stepped into his car, and as if by ma
The grandest ballroom at Mr. Welthe’s prestigious five-star hotel was chosen for hosting this extravagant party. The entire world is on the verge of witnessing the arrival of the only successor to the world’s empire. Everyone is waiting for Mr. Welthe to reveal the identity of his missing heir, who went missing twenty years ago, causing his wife profound depression and ultimately leading to her death. The party was a joyous occasion, as it marked the momentous occasion of Mr. Welthe’s long-awaited reunion with his missing daughter. The entire ballroom transformed into a scene reminiscent of the medieval era. The guests were dressed in their finest medieval attire, donning suits and gowns that transported them back in time. One person is smirking especially since she expected this day to turn her life upside down. The woman is together with George, who is also excited for Letty to be rich. Both individuals presumed that the gathering was intended for Letty. “What did Mr. Welthe tel
A young boy named Livis Vonn Welthe-Forthright sits quietly next to his mother in a board room, observing the ongoing meeting. The child wore a solemn expression as his mother and grandfather participated in the meeting. The child willingly attended such events with the guidance and support of his grandfather.Now, the entire board is refraining from chuckling or laughing because Livis is being serious. The child is actively engaged in flipping through the brochure, fulfilling the purpose of this meeting by incorporating new products and services into their business and even managing the company’s finances.The board member assumed the child would lose interest and requested her mother leave right away. However, their assumption proved to be incorrect.The entire board is astounded by the child’s remarkable intelligence, which he clearly inherited from his mother. Not only is he quiet, but he also offers thoughtful suggestions.“It might be beneficial to consider implementing an insur
After half a year, she finds herself standing outside the prison where Letty and her mother are being held. They have been found guilty of attempted murder, murder, kidnapping, physical injuries, and other charges.She, her father, and Orion are all in each other’s company. She tied the knot with Orion half a year ago. Letty and her mother were asked to appear before the authorities, who then took them to Muntinlupa, where they will be staying for an indefinite period of time. Letty and her mother were sentenced to life imprisonment, thanks to her father’s actions.“Are you alright? We could go back since your situation doesn’t seem to be causing you any stress,” Orion said gently, his hand softly resting on her growing belly. Her baby is expected to arrive in three months.“I’m doing well. I am certain that regardless of what that woman may say, she will ultimately face defeat,” Livia remarked with a smirk. George also asked her to speak with him, but her father and Orion objected be
“Congratulations, Livia! Congratulations on reaching your goal! You are not here because you have died, Livia Lumiere. Forget about it. We appreciate your presence here as much as you do.” The divine being opened up to her.Livia is well-acquainted with the constant back-and-forth between the mortal realm and the realm of the divine, and she is deeply indebted to them.“Thank you very much for your assistance and for sending me the necessary support,” she expressed her gratitude. Despite being unable to see the divine being’s face, Livia was certain that he was smiling at her.“But how do you express your gratitude towards me? I should be the one who owes you a lot,” he said, expressing his gratitude to them. The divine being shook his head. “No, young one. It’s really beneficial for us to suppress a rebellious regressor, especially for my colleague who’s been struggling to control Letezia,” it explained.“As you can see, Livia. Your regression isn’t a coincidence. Your destiny is int
‘I don’t need someone to help me! I’ll handle this on my own!’ she exclaimed to herself, her voice filled with determination, as Letezia aimed the gun at her.“Don’t you have any remorse for the impact you’ve had on my life? And now, you’re only making it worse by attempting to end it!” Livia confidently stated this as Letty writhed in agony from the consequences of Livia’s actions.“Guilt? I don’t feel it. All I feel is a strong desire to eliminate every trace of Welthe’s blood! I don’t care if I suffer any more! Together in hell!” Letezia let out a high-pitched scream.Livia’s eyes widened as Letezia fired the gun, hitting her with a bullet. She made an attempt to avoid the bullet by moving to the other side, but it struck her right arm.“Sh*t!” Livia let out a frustrated sigh.She noticed that Letezia’s gun was primed to unleash a barrage of bullets, prompting her to swiftly seek cover and evade her presence. She hurriedly fled and unfortunately found herself with no other option b
The sudden light startled Livia. Her companions were both in a state of unconsciousness. She noticed Letty and another woman gripping baseball bats. When Livia saw the woman with Letty, she was taken aback. Livia had not anticipated seeing someone like her. Letty had a wide smile on her face, and the woman next to her mirrored her expression.“It’s remarkable how effortlessly you embrace beliefs that evoke sympathy, Livia. You are quite foolish!” Letty laughed mockingly as she spoke to her.Livia was taken aback by the accuracy of Letty’s statement. She acted without considering the potential consequences, displaying a remarkable level of empathy.“Am I considered a top actress? Do you think I have what it takes to succeed as an actress?” Letty spoke to her.“Sure thing, Letty! You have an incredible talent! You are an exceptional daughter!” The woman accompanying Letty, who is likely her mother, Letezia, also expressed praise. Everything was part of their plans, which Livia had alre
There’s no need to inquire about the individuals responsible for orchestrating the intrusion into Welthe’s mansion and causing harm to Richard.The perpetrators promptly admitted their wrongdoing and revealed the identity of the person who instructed them. It turned out to be Letezia, the mother of Letty.The woman employed two individuals to instill fear and cause harm to them. The perpetrators admitted that Livia is the one who should be targeted instead of her father.They entered the room by mistake, assuming it belonged to Livia. When faced with those individuals, Richard attempted to flee, only to be met with a brutal blow to his right eye.The bodyguards swiftly responded to the commotion and came to Richard’s aid. Tragically, they were unable to fend off the culprits and lost their lives in the process.Orion ensures that those without shame are held accountable and face the consequences. Livia is determined to ensure they pay for what they did to her father.“D*mn,” Livia mut
“She’s not at the address Letty provided, and none of the possible hiding places have turned up any results!” Orion relayed the information to her.Livia and her father have remained indoors ever since Letty’s warning. Given that the police haven’t yet detained Letty’s mother, it would be best for them to stay inside.“Do you believe Letty is being honest with us regarding the location of her mother?” Livia abruptly asked. Even though Letty admitted everything and is also to blame for her suffering, she is unsure of her motivations.“We don’t have that information, Liv. We just need to stay vigilant, especially you and your father,” Orion replied.Orion confidently steps forward, offering to be the one to find Letty’s mother. He is assisting the police officers to ensure that this issue is resolved as quickly as possible, thus preventing a major problem. Her father felt deeply saddened upon discovering the true cause behind all of these events. Richard is taking a break while the two
“Thank you for killing me in my first lifeline.” After the policemen forcefully removed George from the building, she leaned in close and whispered into his ear, leaving him with a broken bones.Livia will always remember the look on George’s face when she quietly uttered those words. She observed a mixture of confusion and regret on George’s face. Although George is not the one who really killed her, he is the reason she died.The scene occurred last week, and Livia is still unable to shake off George’s response. It was an extraordinary moment, and if Livia had managed to grab her phone in time, she might have captured it in a photo.She appeared rather foolish as she ate with a smile on her face. Orion didn’t receive any attention from her. The man and she were sharing a meal, and it seems she was incredibly pleased with the experience, unable to forget the delightful scene.Her father had already eaten his dinner and retired for the night. She and Orion remained at the dining table
Livia is engrossed in her tasks when Ramona walks in, her face filled with unease. Livia didn’t glance in her direction, yet she sensed her unease.She may not have her eyes on her, but she can sense Ramona. She diligently signed documents and carefully reviewed financial reports and projects that required attention.“What’s the matter, Ramona?” She asked without glancing at Ramona, simply carrying on with her task. Ramona took her time before responding. She let out a deep sigh and decided to take a break from her work. Livia set her pen aside and glanced at Ramona.“What is it, Ramona?” She asked again.Ramona glanced at her anxiously and absentmindedly scratched her head. “Ma’am Liv, there’s an issue on the first floor that concerns you,” her secretary informed her.She arched her brow, appearing to have a new problem every day. Livia couldn’t help but roll her eyes.“Leave them alone. I’ve had enough of them. Tell them to talk to my lawyer,” she instructed Ramona.Livia glanced at
